Obama Sign The Tax Credit Bill

Jay Hurst: Real Estate Agent in McLean, VA
It is finally official. The homebuyers' tax credit has been extended to April 30, 2010. President Barack Obama approved the extension as part of a $24 billion economic stimulus bill signed Friday. The bill also includes an extension of unemployment benefits to the longtime jobless and tax credits for some businesses. The housing tax credit portion of the bill extends the $8,000 tax credit for home buyers who are purchasing their first home from the current November 30 deadline and expands the program to offer a credit of $6,500 to other homeowners who have lived in their current home for at least five years and are seeking to relocate. Another modification to the original legislation raises the income limits for program participation from $75,000 for a single purchaser to $125,000 and from $125,000 to $225,000 for a couple. There are also credits available on a diminishing basis above those income limits. The bill was passed by the Senate on Wednesday evening and by the House on Thursday. Both bodies acted in a bipartisan manner which has seldom been seen this year. The Senate passage was unanimous; the House voted 403 to 12 for the bill.

McLean Mustangs Enter Final Stretch

Craig Richardson: Real Estate Agent in McLean, VA

The McLean Mustangs season is now in its final stage, the post season. Since August 10th, when players first showed up for 5-nights-a-week practices, coaches, players, Team Moms, and other volunteers have worked hard to make this a great season.

Six of the Mustangs 20 teams made the playoffs, with one of them going undefeated. Playoff teams will play the opening rounds this weekend with the winners advancing to the County Championship next weekend. In addition, the Mustangs will host their annual McLean Bowl later today at McLean High School for seven teams not making the post season. Finally, 3 of the Mustang teams will play in away Bowl Games today.

Congratulations to all 380 players, their families, coaches, and other participants on a job well done!

Showing and selling homes in Orange Hunt Estates for the past 3 decades has been a very gratifying experence for my husband and myself. The homes have continued to be popular since they were first introduced in 1967. It is due in no small part to their superior commuting (bus service to the Pentagon operates in Orange Hunt) and shopping location, outstanding schools and proximity to a multitude of recreational facilities.
